This next one uses the cute bird on a branch from A Pocket Full KOTM also and the sentiment is from Birthday Messages set by Hero Arts. The bird was colored with Copics and layered three times (tole technique). The colors I used are Pumpkin Pie, Rose Red and GinaK Soft Sand papers (a cross between Kraft and Sahara Sand, I love it), which almost follows the Color Throwdown challenge this week :-). The bird is colored with Copics (E55, YG18, R39) the old fashioned way, no shading!

Nina these are stunning! Love the simplicity of the first. I need to ink up that cute pear!

Love your story about 9-11, too. I was living in Boston at the time and the guy I was seeing called me out of the blue yelling on the phone if I was "OK". Roomie and I didn't know at the time what had happened. The city was on lockdown for an entire week. It was so scary but it really gave you a sense of closeness with people at how everyone pulled together to help others.

I think both cards are gorgeous!! Especially love your CTD, bird card. That stitching, the layered bird, your border...everything is just stunning and well put together! GREAT job with the CTD challenge!
